AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Carfagno Danilo. This work titled "Head of Homer" is one of the sculptures that is part of the exhibition "Ellenikos" held by the artist in the 2000s with the patronage of the Municipality of Colli al Metauro in the Province of Pesaro-Urbino. Carfagno Danilo boasts annual solo exhibitions and publications in national art magazines. He is the illustrator of the Divine Comedy, with three paintings of 6 square meters each, which he brings to his exhibitions every year. The work "Head of Homer" is a head obtained by improvising it on a block of clay weighing 20 kg, with no preliminary drawing. It dried for 5 months and was fired at 980 degrees, then covered with gold leaf and copper and subsequently oxidized. It is a unique and original piece. The sculpture is a single, solid block of clay, so it is full! On the side it bears the artist's signature.
